Odoo : Barcode not getting printed on Reports!

Hello Reader,
Recently the community has been facing issues on barcodes on xsl reports not getting printed. For XSL reports, the reportlab is still in action, so the solution is to tweak the lib well.
Courtesy to Atul Patel(atp@openerp.com), Rifakat Husen Haradwal(rha@openerp.com) has given a response on the community email list with a solution which works.
You need to create a folder "fonts" into /reportlab, path is, /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/reportlab/.
You have to copy the contents of extracted zip pfbfer and paste into "fonts" folder, and that should work after restarting odoo service.

Thanks.
